This listing is for my wife's mint-condition 2008 Lotus Exige S 240. We purchased it on a whim in June of 2011 from a local boutique auto dealer with the intent of her having a fun car for the summer around our little beach town and possibly a few laps of NJMP on days when one of the track organizations split time between cars and motorcycles (my passion at the time). She ultimately did one HPDE and lasted 3 sessions before admitting it wasn't for her. Unfortunately, by that time I'd already ordered a considerable amount of track parts for it from Sector 111, most of which are gathering dust in the original boxes on a shelve in our garage.

Obviously, based on the mileage, she didn't really drive it. For the past year, it's been stored in our climate-controlled warehouse only being driven a handful of times for quick lunch dates.

You'll notice in the pictures that the roof is removed in some photos. After doing some research on Lotus Talk that it was in fact safe to do for driving around town, we sourced all new Elise soft top parts and installed them using the templates provided on the forum. The soft top fits neatly in an OEM storage bag in the trunk. For colder weather or track events, the hard top installs in minutes.

The car has the factory track package installed - adjustable coilovers, adjustable swaybars and AP Racing big brakes installed. The tires are new with roughly 500 miles on them, mostly shuttling our daughter to school in warm weather or running out for lunch.

The following parts are included (and already installed, where noted):

Sector 111 - GTS Package (gPan, Transcooler, subStiffy) - $1800 - not installed
Sector 111 microMIRROR - $119 - installed
Sector 111 HEXstuds - $99 - installed
Sector 111 Boomerang Front Tow Hook - $150 - installed
Sector 111 Track Packs (Standard, Black Harnesses) - $965 - not installed
Sector 111 sys.6.pack - $139.99 - not installed
Braille B2015 Lightweight Batterty - $165 - installed
Sector 111 Xtender (battery disconnect/bracket) - $84.99 - installed
Sector 111 Exige Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler - $450 - installed
difFlow 5 Element Railer Jr. Diffuser - $650 - installed
Blackhawk Racing Black Lotus Badges - $199 - installed
British Racing Group Wide-Angle Door Mirrors - $125 - installed
British Racing Group Lotus Exige Soft Top Conversion Kit - $1325 - installed
Lotus Cup Racing Airbox Kit - installed

There's also a handful of other not installed parts - a short throw shifter kit, some filler plates for underneath - all random bits that I found online and ordered.

The car is very clean and in great shape. It's a ton of fun to drive, and the color is pretty unique. We're selling because she rarely drives it, and would rather have a pool. Clear title is in hand (pictured) showing the 900 miles she's put on it in the past 2 years. We have both keys and the owner's manuals.

Coca-Cola returning to F1 with Lotus sponsorship [w/videos]

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

Even before Red Bull Racing became a record-breaking three-time Constructor's Champion in Formula One, it has dominated conversations both as a team and as an energy drink. After seven years of "Red Bull this" and "Red Bull that," Coca-Cola is reportedly ready to jump into the F1 fray with its Sweden-based energy drink Burn.
Rumors had placed Coca-Cola's entry with McLaren F1, but it's actually Lotus that has secured the deal. We have no idea what the sponsorship will look like, but the website for Burn says that "We [intend] to foster that creativity by incorporating art and music in a way that will break the conventions of traditional F1 sponsorship," Lotus F1 team principal Eric Boullier adding "We are excited to partner with burn to build a new and innovative model for sponsorships that will combine experiences, content creation and social media..."
Since most - including this writer - have no idea what Burn is, we've included a couple of Burn commercial spots to help get us up to speed, which you'll find below. The 2012 season hasn't even ended, and we're already looking forward to 2013...

Lotus said to be planning new sedan, crossover [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Lotus has been in limbo in recent years. After former CEO Dany Bahar revealed his plans to build six new models, its parent company was sold, Bahar was sacked, his plans were canceled and a new CEO was hired in the form of former Peugeot chief Jean-Marc Gales. The industry has been waiting ever since to find out what Gales would do with the storied marque, and now we seem to have some indication.
Reports coming in from Malaysia indicate that Jean-Marc presented to the board of parent company Proton a plan for Lotus to build a new sedan and crossover. Though details are scarce, and may seem downright blasphemous for an automaker that built is reputation on lightweight sports cars, it would not be the first time that the House that Colin Built has toyed with either idea.
The company presented the APX crossover concept at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, and the Eterne sedan concept as part of Bahar's far-reaching plans at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The new plans may use these concepts as starting points or could go another direction entirely.

Lotus Esprit all but ready to go, but held back by management issues

Mon, 26 Nov 2012

Brief and disappointing is this report from Autocar on the status of the Lotus Esprit: it is finally ready and sitting at the light, but the light might not go green for a long time. The good news is that from being a concept two years ago at the Paris Motor Show, the aluminum and carbon fiber revival coupe is "purportedly almost finished." It is powered by a twin-turbo, 5.0-liter V8 with something like 650 horsepower, boosted by a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) and shifting through a seven-speed paddleshift transmission. Even with all that, the UK price is said to be around that of a Porsche 911 4S Cabriolet, and the car only needs "signing off and minor tweaking."
The bad news is that former company owner Proton couldn't stay independent long enough to see through the company's ambitious five-concept-car assault - led by then-CEO Dany Bahar who was hired explicitly to lead such a campaign - and was swallowed up by Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom. For a brief spell Lotus had to shut down production for lack of funds. Then the new owner cleaned house, sweeping out Bahar and, according to the Financial Times just one month ago, the Esprit and every other concept with it. Just after the FT piece came out, Lotus denied the Esprit had been canceled. Still, according to Autocar, the management whirlpool is keeping the Esprit "far from becoming a production reality."
If we're honest with ourselves, we'll keep in mind that the Esprit has been slipping into and out of a terminal ether for what seems like decades. None of us knows what is going on inside Hethel HQ, but the fact that there really is a lightweight, twin-turbo, 650-hp Lotus Esprit finally ready to be produced has to be, in spite of all else, very good news.
